1972 I think Alice Cooper (band) had hit their stride as a band,  At this time they were firing on all cylinders.  While I more prefer the two albums that preceded and followed "Schools Out" ( Killer (1971) & Billion Dollar Babies (1973)),  S.O. showed that they worked well together.
 

Well said! Clap

Some bands' albums on this poll are their first, others' are a few albums in. Seems a tad unfair.

Either way, Sabbath is probably going to take this one.

oh...and BOC is a killer album also...a unique band and a unique cover art and music. I recall when it first came out and my brother and his roommate were playing it while we were stoned and cars passed his house in Bloomington at IU on the way to the football game at the stadium.
LOL

Lonesome Crow is a great album but tends to get overlooked in favour of the absolutely stunning album they released 3 years later, "In Trance". Now if we're going to talk about 70s hard/heavy rock in general, then "In Trance" is in the top 10. It is the benchmark that a lot of current retro-heavy and stoner bands in Europe measure themselves against. If you have never heard it, do yourself a favour.

Child in Time is easily the best DP song of all time and my favourite too.

Yes, Smoke has been played to death over the decades, so it almost feels embarrassing to listen to it, especially in the car in summer at high volume with the windows down :)  Still a fantastic album BUT my fav DP album is "In Rock"
